Hello!

Finally in New Zealand and we were surprised at how uncold it was! Which was a nice surprise!

Christchurch is so funny, its like a wee English town....only better!! Sorry but its true!! Its cleaner and sunnier and kinda prettier than most places! It reminded us so much of home though which was good after 3 months away! Accidentally spend one day shopping so naturally we all looked stunning for the beginning of our NZ trip!...Well something like that anyway!

We went to track down a mall (we may be addicted to window shopping) and walked through a mahoosive gorgeous park full of ducks and purple flowers...ok not so exciting for you but DUCKS PEOPLE!!!

We left the mall and were met by sweet sweet English winter weather - it was SO cold!!! Like ice rain!! Not useful when you dont know where to get a taxi/bus and are wearing wee little summer clothes!! Luckily the people here are diamonds and a bus driver took pity on us and randomly (cough*illegally*cough) stopped the bus for us and ferried us away!!

Start Kiwi tomorrow - very exciting stuff! More details later!

Lots of love len xxx
